How do I reduce my GATE photo to under 1000 KB?
Upload it in the free tool on this page. It resizes the image to 350×450px and automatically adjusts JPG quality until the file is inside the 5–1000 KB range. No app or sign-up is needed.
My photo is smaller than 5 KB. How do I increase the size?
The tool raises the JPG quality to bring a small file up into the 5–1000 KB range without changing the 350×450px dimensions. Start from the original, un-compressed photo for the best result.
What background is required for the GATE photo?
Use a recent colour photo with a plain white or light background, face clearly visible and no cap or dark glasses. Crop it in the tool so your face is centred.
Can I resize the GATE photo on my mobile phone?
